Question:
I am trying to find a Georgia surgeon to do a revision.

My insurance is Humana HMO. If I do not find one I will try Dr. Fobi in California. My husband's job will end on 6/30, (we will use Cobra on our insurance for awhile), so Dr. Fobi's surgery will be hard on expenses. Is their anyone who more fortunate in finances that helps those of us without enough funds? Even if they do it secretly it would be so great and it could be kept confidential. I want so bad to have this done very soon so my dad can see that I am losing. He is dying from cancer and he may not live long enough for me to lose it all. e-mail [email protected]    — Rachael R.

You might try Dr. Sidney Appel in Decatur, GA. He's an excellent general surgeon who has been doing bariatric surgery for years and has excellent results. His practice is very backed up and it takes a long time for a date, however. I had some complications and he handled them without any problems. My friend is having a revision with him in August. It's worth a try. He's listed on this web site under surgeons.
